The New State: Group Organization, The Solution Of Popular Government (1918)

By Mary Parker Follett

Book Overview

""The New State: Group Organization, The Solution Of Popular Government"" is a book written by Mary Parker Follett and originally published in 1918. The book explores the concept of group organization as a solution to the challenges of popular government. Follett argues that traditional forms of government, such as representative democracy, are inadequate for addressing the complex issues of modern society. Instead, she proposes a new model of government based on the principles of group organization, which emphasizes collaboration, cooperation, and shared decision-making. Follett draws on examples from business, politics, and social movements to illustrate the potential benefits of this approach. She also discusses the role of leadership in facilitating effective group organization and the importance of creating a culture of mutual respect and trust. Overall, ""The New State"" is a thought-provoking and influential work that continues to be studied and debated by scholars of political science, organizational theory, and public administration. It offers a unique perspective on the challenges of governance and the potential for innovative solutions that prioritize the collective wisdom and expertise of diverse groups.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
